Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, October 16, 1862
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 242.]
Legation of the United States, London, October 16, 1862.
Sir: I now transmit copies of further notes on the subject of the gunboat 290, in continuation of those sent with my despatch (No. 227) of the 26th of September. It is very manifest that no disposition exists here to apply the powers of the government to the investigation of the acts complained of, flagrant as they are, or to the prosecution of the offenders. The main object must now be to make a record which may be of use at some future day.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
